Marisa Quigley ~ Narration / Lead vocals
Rudi Katterl ~ Guitar
Chris Mangan ~ Double bass / Piano
Bryan “Rolie” Dwyer ~ Drums
Priscilla Armstrong ~ Backing vocals
Bella Jeanne Rafaell ~ Backing vocals
A Knockout cabaret show intelligently constructed, written and wonderfully performed by Marissa Quigly. Marisa tells the tragic noir-style tale of Romeo and Rosie, teasing out the characters and taking us deeper into their worlds. Captivating performance poetry guides us from song to song as Marissa applies her strong, smoky singing voice as her band tastefully present the evocative music of Tom Waits to create a world of desire, doubt, temptation, and desperation.

Dr Crask & His Swingin’ Elixir Band August 2018

Gregory Craske ~ double bass
Jen Salisbury ~ vocals
Stuart Ferguson ~ trumpet
Trent Howard ~ tenor sax
Aaron Rodriguez ~ baritone sax
Keaton Tait ~ guitar
Jim Dunlop ~ drums
Gregory Crask formed this band initially to play his charity event called Swingin’ The Blues Away 2013; a swing dance event that raised money for an organization dealing with mental health issues in our community. A keen Lindy Hopper himself, his focus has been on playing the tunes of the Savoy Ballroom era, and to re-imagine the jumpin’ vibe of this iconic dance hall with a smaller and more portable ensemble. The arrangements are both drawn from original charts and also arranged by members of the group. The lush horn section and guitar that draws on early blues forms provides a splash of individuality, and some red hot solos. The vocals of Jennifer Salisbury round off the sound with a timbre and delivery well- matched to the era of choice.
